Ellen DeGeneres: Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

Her love of poker has remained a secret for a long time, but now more and more is coming out about Ellen DeGeneres as a poker player. In various reports, for example, it is stated that Ellen not only likes to play poker, but also really goes for it. It is described as Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde: someone with two personalities. On television a friendly woman who laughs a lot, at the poker table a serious lady.

For example, a celebrity who played poker with Ellen stated that she had even become angry. The celebrity could not keep up with the fast game of Ellen and her opponents and was accused of "ruining the game". The celebrity even declared that it caused Ellen a tantrum. Because of the tense atmosphere at the poker table, the fame decided to "fold" and leave Ellen's house. Not really a friendly hostess, but at least a serious poker player.
